Usage:
Just type "AddCR" from cli (with no parameters) and you will
get the necessary information on how to use this program.
Background:
I usually remove any escape/control sequences from my text files
on my Amiga because they are distracting inverse text characters on many
Amiga readers. But removing these removes the Ctrl+M ($0D) type carriage
returns (these are only present in some files). Different text readers
respond differently to them, but as far as I have seen they are not needed
on Amiga text readers. When I uploaded several t-files to a friend of mine
that has an IBM, his reader or his type command didn't output returns at the
ends of lines. We concluded that the Ctrl+M's must be present for the
files to work properly with his setup. I could not find a program to fix
this, although I'm sure there are lots of them out there. So I wrote this
command in Manx Aztec C 3.6a. This program will insert a Ctrl+M at every
linefeed ($0A) in the input file, and write the results to a specified output
file.
AddCR is freely distributable but you must include this doc.
